Elevator Pitch
Some say Java’s dead, others that it’s just resting. In fact it’s exactly the opposite. Java and the JVM are moving into brave new worlds. This talk will explain why and how JVMs are being stretched, twisted and reformed to meet the new workloads that make up the modern challenge of Cloud.
Description
This talk provides an overview and a state of the nation for JVM directions from a Cloud perspective
It will cover the various technical and economic challenges being placed upon modern Java Virtual Machines and how there challenges are being tackled. From serverless to super-large clusters, from small devices to new hardware, from containers, VMs and even baremetal : The JVM of today has so much it has to do and , as we’re finding out, multiple ways to get there. Even the way we develop code is changing for cloud and the JVM has a part to play in making the developers life (and tools) better.
This session will celebrate the open source projects that are doing cool stuff with JVMs and pushing the boundaries on the art of the possible. From new things in OpenJDK, amazing things with GPUs, practical things with OpenJ9 , different directions with Quarkus and left field technologies such as Docker and CRIU.
